Frequently Suffering from Hemorrhoids? This is Why You Must Eat Less Salt

Anyone familiar with the pain of hemorrhoids knows that preventive care is the best way to keep them at bay. How can you achieve this naturally? First and foremost, here are the foods you must limit or completely remove from your diet: white flour and its products, milk and dairy products, processed food, processed meats, and fried foods.

If this article catches you in the middle of the pain, and we hope it doesn't - immediately stop consuming spicy food, alcohol, caffeine, citrus fruits, and... salt, all of which can almost instantly worsen the pain.

Believe it or not, if you are addicted to 'salt' in your food and add it excessively while cooking - know that salt is a major enemy when it comes to hemorrhoids. Salt actually causes fluid retention, which puts pressure on the veins and worsens the hemorrhoid problem and the intensity of their pain.

What else can help you?

1. Increase your intake of vegetables and fruits with dietary fiber.

2. Sit in a bath of lukewarm water and soap at least three times a day. The water softens the hemorrhoids and accelerates healing.

3. No matter what job you have or how much you are required to sit during the day, just stop it. If you work many hours sitting down, stand up and take breaks to shorten the time spent sitting. Prolonged sitting causes hemorrhoids to emerge and worsen.

4. If you suffer from chronic diarrhea, treat it in time, as diarrhea can lengthen the healing time of hemorrhoids.

5. Use special creams, suppositories, and wipes to relieve pain.

6. Consider complementary medicine treatments to improve blood flow in the veins, something scientifically proven to greatly aid in the healing of hemorrhoids.
